Patsy Cline returns to Carnegie Hall! How magical that Allison Krauss chose to sing this at this Opry performance. Cline made her Carnegie Hall debut with The Opry on November 29, 1961 and was quite a sensation with the audience, so much so that she had several standing ovations. When Dorothy Kilgallen called them "hicks from the sticks" Patsy shot back "If I ever meet that wicked witch of the east, I'll let her know just how PROUD I am to be a hick from the sticks!"
Well...in all fairness...one cannot improve on the perfection and soul that was Patsy. That said, this is an outstanding version with real feeling and great playing from the musicians who understand it's their job to make their star shine!
I love Patsy, and I love Alison Kraus, this an amazing song, but it’s NOT a country song, it’s a du wap song. I like Allison’s pure rendition, but I’ve argued with lots of people that this was the cross over song for patsy, that led to sweet dreams.
@@tjpassig208 The songwriter actually requested that she do it because she was his favorite singer. Alison definitely wouldn't have done it otherwise.
